👣 Struggling with Plantar Fasciitis?
That stabbing heel pain when you take your first steps in the morning can make walking, training, or even standing unbearable.

IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation) is one of my go-to treatments for Plantar Fasciitis.

How IASTM helps:
✅ Reduces pain & inflammation in the plantar fascia and surrounding tissues
✅ Improves function & mobility so walking and training feel easier
✅ Speeds up recovery by stimulating healing in the fascia

Common causes of Plantar Fasciitis:
• Overuse from running or walking long distances
• Poor footwear with little arch support
• Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon
• Sudden increase in activity
• Standing for long periods on hard surfaces

Alongside IASTM, I also offer cupping therapy and infrared light therapy to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and speed recovery — so you can get back to moving pain-free.

Do you suffer from TMJ pain?
If you’re struggling with jaw pain, stiffness, headaches, earaches, or teeth issues caused by TMJ dysfunction, dry needling can be a game-changer.

How it helps:
✅ Pain reduction – releases muscle tension and trigger points
✅ Better function – improves jaw movement and flexibility
✅ Headache relief – eases tension in surrounding muscles
✅ Earache relief – reduces referred pain from jaw & neck
✅ Teeth protection – helps ease clenching and grinding

Dry needling works by targeting the overactive muscles linked to TMJ, giving you lasting relief and better day-to-day comfort.

🚨 Moray Ice Rink Under Threat 🚨

Scottish Ice Hockey is calling for urgent action to prevent the closure of Moray Ice Rink, currently set for 4 August.

We’ve contacted key decision-makers — including Moray Council and the First Minister — seeking immediate dialogue. While a shift from permanent to temporary closure has been announced, we share the community’s concern: once doors close, reopening becomes uncertain.

🧊 Ice sports are thriving in Scotland. We must protect facilities like Moray for current and future generations.
